This area is now home to Anna Ruby Falls Visitor Center, Unicoi State Park, the City of Helen and Hardman Farm State Historic Site. Explore natural history features along the Smith Creek Trail weaved with man-made historical features such as the Sautee Ditch, a hand dug water supply for two gold stamp mills in the 1800’s.
